SAFEGUARDING
YOUR PRIVACY

Our Process Flow

Disposal

Cleardata’s secure paper collection console is placed in a high-volume paper area in the work environment and used by staff to discard paper-based documentation. We recommend clients discard all paper in the console, as this prevents subjectivity in the disposal process and ensures 100% of your documentation is shredded and recycled.

Collection

The contents of the console are transferred to a locked wheelie bin in your offices. This ensures a secure chain of custody and is performed by our security screened Client Service Representatives. The documents remain untouched and are transferred to our mobile paper shredding vehicle – which is parked outside your premises.

Shredding

Once the bin is raised by the automatic bin lifter, the contents are tipped into the paper shredding module. It is at this point that highly specialised steel blades shred your documents into unrecognizable paper shreds.

Certifying

During paper collection, the Client Service Representative scans each bar-coded console. After the paper has been shredded, a Certificate of Destruction is printed and signed by the client and Cleardata. These are provided to all clients before departure from their site, with electronic versions uploaded to the client zone of our website.

Paper Recycling

The shredded paper is then delivered to a pre-screened and approved recycler, who ensures that 100% of your documents are fully recycled into a variety of paper-based products.
